In short: Very enjoyable Sunday morning outingIn full: An enjoyable, friendly race on a very pretty and mildly challenging undulating course almost entirely through woods. At a tenner to run it it's excellent value too. Well worth a visit.Date of review: September 22, 2014

In short: As always, well organised, enjoyable and challenging.In full: My 3rd time at this race and it is always a good one. Organisation is slick, marshals are effective and encouraging, support around the course, not huge but enough, is enthusiastic and the route, with all of its undulations, is a very good challenge. Excellent value too.Date of review: March 12, 2014

In short: Well organised, great course and very tough.In full: A very well organised event with encouraging and supportive marshals, a friendly crowd of fellow runners, a few enthusiastic supporters and an excellent course. It's a real test of trail running with some proper hills (and downhills) to stretch those muscles. Very well done to everyone ionvolved in pulling it together.Date of review: October 1, 2012

In short: Appropriately named, well organised and throughly enjoyable.In full: A very well organised event. Nice early Saturday start gives plenty of recovery time over the weekend, and it's needed. Thanks go to the friendly, helpful and encouraging marshals too. Definitely recommend this one, but don't expect an easy Saturday trail session.Date of review: July 8, 2012

In short: A challenging route, great organisation, shame about the parked carsIn full: As every year, David Hollingsworth and his team organised an excellent event. The marshals are brilliant - thank you to all of them for their support and encouragement. It's not a pretty course, but its undulations (and a couple of hills) make it a good challenge, as do the parked cars along most of it, usually occupying half of the available running space. That's the only downside, though, and it's beyond the control of the organisers who deserve credit for a job well done for another year.Date of review: February 27, 2012

In short: Very well organised and a lovely route. Excellent race.In full: Very enjoyable - good route, well marshaled and a scattering of enthusiastic support around the route. Someone amongst the organisers must be well connected to have been able to arrange the great weather too, though 10 degrees cooler would have suited better! Definitely a good PB opportunity - I took a minute off my PB which was from this same race 4 years ago.Date of review: April 11, 2011
